PAINTERS on A STRIKE
Because Of Refusal by the BOsscs
to.IncrcaHe wages.

Nearly all the journeymen house
painters failed TO report for work yee-

of an order from their unions, caused
by q demand for increased wages not
being complied with by the bosses.
3 me two months ago the Painters
Union notified the boss painters that
on and after the first Monday in
March iourneymen painters would
have to be paid So per day instead of
81 so, the rate Of wages at that time.
The boss painters refused TO give the
advance and the strike is on In conse-
Quenee. There are about one hundred
house painters in the Memphis Union,
and nesrly half Of the number were
out ot employment before the strike.
The Union Is in pretty good fix and
the strikers are hopeful Of achieving q
victory, but will probab y agree to ar

National Banks at the South

The Philadelphia Times calls attention to
the fact that of the $50 new national banks
organized between March 4, 1885, and Aug.
l, 1887, the very great majority are in the
South and Southwest There is some reason
for calling attention to this fact, because
national banks were not popular in the
South until within the last few years. There
were national banks of course, in the chief
cities and towns, but somehow or other
there was strong leaning towards State
banks. Indeed, within the last year or
two great deal has been published in this
State in favor of State banks, with the
view of securing the establishment of a
State banking system. The Times is of the
opinion that the securing of the
control of the government by the
Democratic party has had much to do with
popularizing the national banking system
in the South. This opinion may be correct
IL is certain that the system has gradually
grown in favor, and the great increase in
the number of national banks in the South
ern States within the last few years has had
a very beneficial effect. Money is easier to
obtain, and the rate of interest in CONNER
cial centres is lower Those who
are acquainted with the national
banking system can have no doubts
of its superiority to State bank
ing system. The South is much better sup
piled with currency now than ever before
but there is still room for more national
banks

proposed that his wife should assist in the work.
To enforce acquiescence he took her clothes and
burned them. He then furnished her with over
alls, jumper and heavy boots, and threatened
her with death if She did not obey According
ly she commenced chopping wood. Then she
went into the hay-fe as a regular hand At
one place her sex was discovered and she was
discharged They next came to Tehama

propriated and spent in gambling and drinking
Last Saturday they came to Germantown where
the husband secured work for both carrying
sacks The work was too heavy and the wife
determined to flee from her bondage. Once be-
fore, in Tehama county, she had tried to escape
but was caught by her husband and beaten.
This time she waited till her husband was en-
gagged at labor, when she started out on foot for
Willows. At Hegels she stopped and told her
story. Joe Hegel' gave her letter to Col
Crawford to whom she came Through the
kindness of several ladies she was given proper
clothing and assured, of protection. Monday
she started to Oregon where her brother re

The Presidency Doesn't Tempt Him
There is one man in the country who
doesn't want to be President. That man is
Mr.. Robert T. Lincoln, ex-Secretary OF
War His name is frequently mentioned in
connection with the Presidency, and if the
colored Republicans could have their way
it is probable that he would be the next
Presidential nominee by the Republican
! party.
There is no doubt that Mr. Lincoln is
sincere in saying that he doesn't want to
be President. When he was Secretary of
War he never appeared to be contented.
He took very little interest in the affairs of
the department, and the honor attached TO
the office appeared to have no charm for
him. In an interview, day or two ago,
he said that when he was a member of
President Arthur's Cabinet he made
up his mind that when his term
expired he would bid goodbye
to official life forever He has
an excellent law practice and good health
and is happy. No Office he says is
sufficient inducement to give up these
and become a public servant whose cares
anu dfiuOyduCeS Uldko NE DuIueI. Opcih-
ing of the Presidential office, in the inter
view above alluded to, he said: ut is but a
gilded prison. The cares and worry con-
nected with it outweigh the honor which
surrounds it. All official life is infinitely
wearisome."
Official life does not appear to be weari-
some to the average citizen. The rush for
offices indicates that there is a widespread
willingness to participate in it, however
wearisome it may be. If Mr. Lincoln's idea
of official life could be impressed upon the
people, more of them would be content to
seek advancement in the private walks of life
and there would be less trouble about pub
lie patronage. There would be no need of
a civil service law because the office would
have to seek the man, instead of the man the
office. There is not much probability, how
ever, that Mr.. Lincoln's views of office and
official life will, in this generation, obtain
very strong hold on the public mind.
